That herald named Victorous is the young woman we saw that encountered Doom in the ruins of his castle in the relaunch FF issue #1

Fellow Doomophiles, this is your chance to pick up some of those Doom books that may be missing from your collection. Marvel 's website has a Doctor Doom sale on the Digital Comics Store. It's probably on Comixology too since those sites are allied with each other to some extent

Highlights of the sale include:

• Books of Doom $3.99
• Doctor Doom/Doctor Strange: Triumph and Torment $3.99 which is a huge bargain IMO. Not only do you get the GN but you get the story from Astonishing Tales #8 and some bonus Namor stories from Marvel Fanfare done by Mike Mignola. I have the TPB of this and the digital edtion plus an orignal print run of Triumph and Torment. Can't have enough of this work IMO.
• Secret Wars (2015) $5.99
• Private War of Doctor Doom $5.99 - This includes Avengers #150-156 and SVTU issue #9, which gives you the Avengers/SVTU crossover
• Infamous Iron Man vol 1 and 2 are $3.99 each
• DoomWar $3.99
• Overthrow of Doom $5.99 This collects FF issues 192-200
• Iron Man: Legacy of Doom $2.99

Plus there are various collections of other titles where Doom has guest appearances, like a couple of volumes of the Marvel Masterworks collection of the Fantastic Four for $5.99 and a couple of volumes of Jonathan Hickman's run on the FF.

Thank you for posting those images.
I was wondering if Victorous was not a new character because she is not much visible in the art of the preview of Fantastic Four#6.

Thanks for the heads up, Iron Maiden! I could definitely use a few of those in digital.

An unfortunate outcome but perhaps inevitable given Fox's acquisition. The kind of 'Hard R' superhero movies that Fox has been pushing lately just don't fit with Disney's corporate image. Makes me worried about the future of Deadpool 3 as well, that censored Christmas edit of Deadpool 2 was bad enough.

Ah well, I just hope that the screenplay for the Doctor Doom movie gets leaked at some point. That would be an interesting read if nothing else.

I'm not sure if the Fox Dr. Doom story would have been as commercially successful as a Marvel one, but it would have been, under Hawley, amazing visually and a challenging one. Plus, I doubt Marvel will actually do a Dr. Doom movie. I'm sure they want to use him as a villain.

You make a good point, I don't see Marvel under Disney making a Doctor Doom movie or any supervillain centric movie for that matter. The intention will be to use Doom as a villain in (phase 4?) of the MCU, a complete waste of the character's potential.

Which is honestly all the more troubling, seeing as how the MCU has produced some fairly lacklustre villains over the years. Most of them are disposable punching bags, like Ultron, designed to take a beating from the entire Avengers line-up for a movie and then be completely forgotten about. Even Thanos suffers from this, Disney removed Thanos' love of Death as his primary motivation, instead replacing it with this weird overpopulation ideology to try and make him more sympathetic. Well, either that or the theological implications of a literal personification of Death in the MCU made the Disney higher-ups uncomfortable.

So basically, I have no faith that the MCU will be able to capture all the nuances or Doom as a character. Least of all in the space of a 2 hour movie. Now that I think about it, Doom would probably work best in a long-form story. Like a serial TV series, the kind that HBO makes and not those Agents of Shield 'monster of the week' episodes. It takes time to understand Doom as a character and time is perhaps not something the MCU has been able to use effectively.

MCU Thanos particularly grapples with the overpopulation thing because in the comics that's what his motivation was upon getting resurrected and then ultimately creating the Infinity Gauntlet. He creates the item in the movie and comics to make it easier to do regardless if Death is telling him to do it or not. So it does borrow from the comics in that his primary motivation is the same but just the way they went about it was changed. Primarily it's not love that motivates him but watching his civilization crumble.

One positive thing is that in an interview I posted in the old thread it stages that the Russo brothers are very interested in seeing Hawley's Doctor Doom script, or at least some elements from it. I wouldn't be surprised if that hasn't happened already since they are working together with Noah Hawley on a drama series called "Mastermind" for FX. Doesn't look like Doom will get a solo but if they use Hawley script maybe we'll get some elements from it.

Does anyone know where this is from?

From the spelling of "armour", my guess would be it is of British origin perhaps??

[Iron Maiden]

As part of their push of the Fantastic Four, The Marvel site has a piece on Doctor Doom's Greatest Battles. IMO it looks to me like stories and not so much about battles. But there are a lot of good choices for those who've not read a lot about Doom.

• Books of Doom
• Fantastic Four Debut issue #5
• The Power Cosmic (issues 57-60)
• Clash of Titanic Minds (issue #200)
• This Land is Mine (issue #247)
• Reaching into the Beyond - Secret Wars
• Doctor Strange/Doctor Doom: Triumph and Torment
• Unthinkable
• Doomwar
• Secret Wars (2015)

Excellent catch!
